I use this exercise/Pilates ball at least once a week in place of going to the gym. It comes with a list of example exercises you can do. The only concern I have is that the stand that the ball sits on doesn't stay together very well. You have to assemble it, and sometimes it doesn't stay assembled. I however, am moving it from one place to another, so that could be a contributing factor. 4 stars

I have really enjoyed using this ball. I have not used the base a whole lot. It helps a lot with the tubing if you are doing exercises on your own, but if you are using a video, you are moving a lot and really dont have any time or need to use the base. The ball is very study. I definitely suggest the first time you blow us your ball use an air compressor at home or go to the gas station to really blow up the ball and stretch it, then use the hand pump for maintenance. Overall I am very happy with this purchase 5 stars

After I recieved this product Iwas really excited to try it out. After putting it together and pumping up the ball, I go to use it and the base snaps apart while I am on the ball doing some of the moves. I thought bummer, either I am just way to heavy that I split it or I did not put it together properly. I know it wasn't the latter b/c it only snaps together, so maybe I was just to darn big. Another thing I did not like is the fact that the ball is really small. You look at the lady using it on the site and think that it is a decent size ball...maybe for someone that is 5'7 and not 5'10. So, all in all it was not made for me. 2 stars

I agree the bottom is a bit flimsy, but it hasn't given me any trouble, so far. It is easy to put together. The ball is pretty nice (I like my Spri better as far as quality, but this one for height). I could not find instructions in the box telling how high to blow it up (I did it to 22" and it is a bit taught, but I like that height). I am hoping it won't blow up on me.

I like the pump a lot better than the one that comes in the Spri ball kits. It pumps this ball and the Spri balls up much faster (but is a little tricky to fit in the Spri balls). It only took me about 5-7 minutes to pump it up, vs. about 20 with the Spri pump. The Spri ball I pumped with this one was an Elite and quite thick.

I like the stretch band, but it is a bit short for bicep curls, but is good for a lot of other exercises. I tried out several exercises and it is going to be really good for the days I can't get to the gym to do weights.
